I had stayed in the Ribchester before. The rooms are lovely. Loved the little touches, fresh milk,bottles of orange juice and water. The only minus was, the sheets weren't cotton. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

Ribchester arms - business trip

First time stopping here, beautiful location, very friendly/ warm welcome , the room is 4/5 star, lovely decoration , everything you need , extremely clean and comfy bed, dined in the restaurant for evening meal and the food was huge portion and delicious, I had the steak and ale pie, my colleague the Steak , both plates polished off .i tend to go for hotel chains normally but stopping at the Ribchester arms has certainly opened my eyes to something better, without doubt if I get the chance again I’d definitely stay here again. Thanks to all for making my stay great .

Could not find fault with any part of the stay. We came to visit family and flew in from America. We will NOT stay anywhere else when we are back. Absolutely loved it! Staff are excellent, nothing was too much trouble.
